Thank you the end part was gripping - never heard Emuna be expressed in such a simple, earthy way. It very much resonated. Very humbled after hearing this interview thank you. Reply

Don't be misled. Of all the Rabbis I have heard and learned from, Rabbi Yossi Paltiel is the BEST at transmitting the FEELING of every aspect about which he teaches. Psychology Rabbis reveal much about the human-Hashem interaction. However Rabbi Yossi Paltiel has a superior ability to transmit the EMOTION of Torah. His words hit you squarely between the eyes and the learner gets both the logic and the emunah of what is tought. Rabbi Paltiel adds to our own emunah more than any other teacher/lecturer I've seen. The power and force of his own emotional emunah is great and valuable. If anyone in his orbit wrongly believes that he should function like an empathatic kindly teacher, they have definitely missed the extreme value of his teaching. Reply
